Kansas City Real Estate Trends: What’s Really Happening This Fall

Written By Becky Bond

Are Kansas City real estate trends shifting toward a more balanced market, and what does that mean for your next move?

Yes—inventory has grown modestly, prices continue to rise year over year, and homes are taking a bit longer to sell. In short, buyers have more choices, and sellers who price strategically are still seeing strong results.

The Market Snapshot

As of September 2025, the median home price across the Kansas City metro is $320,000, up 3.4% from last year. Inventory rose 8.7%, with about 8,500 active listings. Homes are averaging 39 days on market, and sellers are receiving around 97% of their original list price. These numbers signal a more balanced pace while keeping momentum in both directions.

For Buyers

You’ll find more options and a little extra negotiating power this fall. With slightly longer listing times, you may be able to secure small concessions or inspection credits. Still, well-priced homes move quickly—especially those that check all the right boxes. Staying pre-approved and ready to act remains key.

For Sellers

Pricing smartly is everything. With more inventory, buyers can compare value faster than ever. Homes that are well-prepared, attractively priced, and marketed professionally continue to perform best. Sellers who align with today’s data-driven market trends can expect solid offers and smoother transactions.

The Bottom Line

Kansas City real estate is moving from “frenzy” to “functioning”—steady, healthy, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, this season offers the balance you’ve been waiting for.
